  1. Is GOP abusing filibuster in blocking nominee for defense secretary?

    Senate Republicans used a filibuster to block a confirmation vote Thursday on Chuck Hagel, President Obama’s nominee for defense secretary. Harry Reid, the Senate’s Democratic leader, said it was the first time a nominee for the Pentagon’s top job had been filibustered. Democrats control 55 votes in the Senate, more than the majority that would be needed to confirm Hagel, but not the 60 votes needed to prevent a minority from blocking an up-or-down tally. Republicans said they were holding up Hagel’s confirmation because the Obama administration was refusing to release more information on the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. Democrats said Republicans were just looking for excuses to continue the GOP’s strategy of obstruction. Have Republicans been abusing the filibuster? Or should Democrats be blamed for pushing nominees and proposals that don’t have enough bipartisan support to pass? Talk about it!

  2. Does New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's weight matter?

    New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is one of the most popular leaders in the Republican Party. He shows up in polls among top GOP presidential prospects for 2016. But Christie has struggled for years to lose weight, and a former White House doctor recently said the governor would risk a heart attack or stroke if he decides to run. Christie has shown a sense of humor in the past about his weight, but he reacted angrily to the doctor’s comments. Christie said he is healthy, and he pointed out that the doctor never examined him. Should voters listen to the doctor or Christie on this issue? With obesity becoming more of a national health problem, is it important for the president to be a good role model by keeping fit? Should voters also consider other health issues, like smoking, when evaluating presidential candidates? Talk about it!
